Where can I find clips
As many of you may remember, I am restoring my late father's 75 - progress has been stalled for a while due mainly to work - but I am now starting to get back onto it.
One of the things I did was send a lot of skanky bits off to be powder coated, including the battery carrier. It has come back lovely but now I need to find replacement clips for it as half were missing, and the other half broke when I tried to remove them. Attached picture is from a current eBay auction to show what I need - which is all of them. Anyone know where I can get them from? (tried Rimmers, can't find them there). I have resigned myself to buying generic ones from eBay but if there is a source of the correct ones I would like to get them as I then I know they will fit the pipes correctly. I did think about buying that one on eBay but I don't really want to pay £40 and they will likely break like mine did :-) |

I doubt very much if you'll find them, although if someone knows otherwise do please tell.
Buy the one on ebay and be careful when fitting the pipes, heavy handedness is usually what cause things to break. |

Although plastic does tend to go brittle with age, heat cycles, etc.

They have a cross reference chart for Rover (& other) part numbers to their own too. |
